Ingredients
Serves: 5
Tofu Egg Salad
- One 14 oz. block of extra firm tofu, pressed
- 2 medium dill kosher pickles, finely minced
- 5 celery stalks, finely minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 Tbs pickle juice from the jar
- 5 scallions, chopped
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 2 Tbs dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Directions
- To ensure the tofu is sufficiently dry, cut the block in half, along its width, and then cut into 8 equal sections.
- Wrap four sections in a paper towel, layer on top the other four sections, and cover with a paper towel. Place on a plate and weigh it down to be pressed by using a cast-iron skillet or a cookie sheet weighted with a cookbook or pot. Press for 20-25 minutes at least.
- Meanwhile, prepare your remaining ingredients.
- Remove excess liquid from the tofu and lightly crumble by hand into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine with celery, pickles, pickle juice, seasonings, vegan mayo, and dijon mustard.
- Fold together carefully with a rubber spatula.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serve the tofu egg salad as a sandwich or wrap with lettuce and tomato or enjoy as a high-protein snack with rice crackers.
